{"product_id":"melson-joe-joe-melson-story-hey-mister-cupid-music-cd-604988116922","title":"Melson,joe - Joe Melson Story: Hey Mister Cupid - Music CD","description":"Although Joe Melson remains chiefly famous as co-writer of Roy Orbison's early, breakthrough hits, he also had a parallel recording career himself, cutting a series of collectable R\u0026amp;R sides for the Hickory label. But although his recorded legacy is an impressive body of work, Melson was unlucky with his own releases and was unable to register a national hit. This 35-track compilation presents an unique portrait of Joe, comprising his first seven singles, including sides like 'Oh Yeah', 'Shook Up', 'Hey Mister Cupid' and a souped-up revival of 'Wake Up Little Susie' (all of which sound like they could have been hits), plus a handful of songwriters' demos, four of which also feature co-writer Orbison. It also features sixteen of his songs as recorded by other artists, like Mark Dinning, The Velvets, Conway Twitty and Bobby Vee, alongside a trio of Orbison's biggest, signature hits, 'Only The Lonely', 'Running Scared' and 'Crying'.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49219447947506,"sku":"JSMR8811692.2","price":13.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4218969-2985794.jpg?v=1778941361","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/melson-joe-joe-melson-story-hey-mister-cupid-music-cd-604988116922","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
